1961 Italian Fiat 1100/D Special. A Restoration Project.

This is a discussion on 1961 Italian Fiat 1100/D Special. A Restoration Project. within Post-War, part of the Vintage Cars & Classics in India category; Very well done Gogi. The car and the color looks amazing.
One observation though : Dont you think all those ...

Awesome it is.... Beautifully done and man am sure it does turn quite a few heads as you drive by. Great job Gogi, but would like to request you to post some interior pics too. I do remember seeing your neat speedo console and would love to see it in its place.

could not see any of the earlier posted pictures Gogi bhai. the last four yes. the car is looking awsome and the restoration is done to the T. could not expect anything less from you bhai. the owner sure would have been all smiles seeing his ex car. somehow i feel the chequered tyre flaps look out of place with the car maybe a single colour would look better. just my two bits here.

Thanks sir. I know re the checkered flaps, well the car was delivered to be late in the night so i didnt want to remove them till i got fiat ones. but these will go

On the contrary my dear friend.. yes it is cluttered but thats the whole idea

@ Irags- final polishing is still to be done. Will be finished in this week. Some small things need care..

Re the white walls, i would have washed the blue colour off had it not matche d the colour. Will turn white eventually

Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is to say I was left with my mouth hanging open when I saw the pics....!!
Gogi, man she is AWESOME!!! Jus wait til this car appears in a VCCCI rally! They'd better award her a prize!!
I've decided to do up my delight in the same colour (although not as yet, for the time getting a single coat in the same colour!).....
I love your car's interior even more!! 'might as well feel tempted to sleep (alone I mean! ) in it!! :P
PS: sorry for being picky but did you really need to have the reverse lights fitted?

Actually Shyam i wanted it removed too but was away in Calcutta when the finishing was done and the guy just put these lights coz they were there on her before. By the time i told him to stop, he had already drilled the holes...so.....!!!!
